http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BattleFantasia_8276.jpgA fighting game released by Aksys and Arc System Works, the creators of ''VideoGame/{{Guilty Gear}}''. It was the first fighting game to be released by the company on the {{Xbox 360}} and {{PS3}}. It is set in a cookie-cutter [[FantasyKitchenSink Medieval Fantasy]] world, which serves as a contrast to Guilty Gear's and VideoGame/BlazBlue's heavy {{Science Fiction}} setting. The art style is [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield very colorful]] and [[HighFantasy heavily fantastical]], and the game's themes are much {{Lighter and Softer}} than its predecessor.

Gameplay is also much slower than the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' or ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' series, resembling ''StreetFighter'' more than anything.

Not to be confused with a set of MagicalGirl [[{{Real Trailer Fake Movie}} Real Trailer Fake Game]] clips.

The game saw a disc release on the 360, which is notoriously difficult to track down, and a digital release on the Playstation Network.----!!This game provides examples of:

* ABoyAndHisX : Marco and his Pet Dragon* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield* AnachronismStew: If this is a medieval fantasy setting, why does Texas and a wild west gunslinger exist? ** RuleOfCool, that's why. ** Considering the fact that they have a MaidCafe that serves sodas in this world...** Not to mention that Urs has a MOTHERFUCKING LASER CHAINSAW THAT DOUBLES AS A VEHICLE SOMEHOW.* AnimatedArmor: Deathbringer* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Marco to Urs.* AssKicksYou: Watson** Possibly Marco as well.

On an interesting note, Yoshiro Ono, producer of the ''Street Fighter 4'' series commented in an interview that Capcom wasn't interested in releasing a new SF game if it wasn't 3D, but he wasn't sure if it was possible to make a game with 3d graphics and keep the 2d "feeling" until they watched ''Battle Fantasia'' -- a game that in his words inspired the SF4 series* EmotionlessGirl: Odile* EmpathicWeapon / EvilWeapon: Dokurod* EpicFlail: Cedric* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Olivia* ExecutiveMeddling: Inverted, in this case, the decisions could be considered to have made the game better, YMMV for the 1st one since the game was planned to be a traditional 2D sprite based fighting game but was decided that it had to use 3D graphics instead, since {{ArcSystemWorks}} didn't have a 3D game by the time, the 2nd one was the addition of the Heat Up system, afraid that the game was too different from the {{ArcSystemWorks}} formula, they asked for a mode that could allow more {{Combos}} options, leading to the Heat Up system which adds more depth and also more variety in gameplay since it's unique for every character %% * FragileSpeedster: Watson* GroinAttack: Marco using his grab against Face, complete with a bell sound!* TheGunslinger: Face* HitPoints: While [[SubvertedTrope mainly shown for cosmetic effect]], in fighting games your characters do have set [=HPs=], Battle Fantasia is the first to show them.* HolyHandGrenade: Cedric, whose powers mostly involves shooting spells made of holy energy.* HookHand: Freed* KidHero: Marco* KillerRabbit: Watson* LighterAndSofter: This game takes place in a very colorful, medieval setting and much {{lampshade hanging}} takes place, in contrast to its [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear precursor]] and [[VideoGame/BlazBlue successor]].* LoveableSexManiac: Cedric* ManOnFire: Characters ignite when they activate "Heat Up" mode, giving some of their attacks special properties for a limited time.%% * MightyGlacier: Donvalve, Deathbringer* MovesetClone: Urs and Marco, Olivia and Odile/Dokurod.* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Averted by Donvalve, who is a giant-sized Dwarf with a valve protruding from his torso. * PantyShot: The result of Marco using his grab on Coyori.* {{Pirate}}: Freed** It should be noted that Freed is not actually a Pirate, though he looks like one for being a (Flying) Ship Captain and having a Hook instead of a hand* RebelliousPrincess: Olivia* RobeAndWizardHat: Watson* RPGElements: In presentation, rather than gameplay. Health is called "HP" and displayed numerically, and the announcer calls "Level up!" as your special bar fills.** Even more prevalent in the official site, where each character has listed gear, items being carried and level. All for aesthetic purpose, of course. The characters themselves also tend to lampshade this.* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The American {{PS3}} release was delayed over a year and forced to go download-only because SCEA does not allow retail discs without English voice acting.* SNKBoss: Deathbringer's second form, which can only be damaged in Heat Up mode.* SpeechImpediment: Marco pronounces his "R"s like "W"s.** Justified, he's a child.* StayInTheKitchen: Face's opinion on Olivia fighting to save her country.* SteamPunk: Present in some areas, specially evident in Donvalve.* ZettaiRyouiki: Type A Coyori, Type B/C depending of the color Olivia & Odile ----
